During the beam calculation launch process, hosted load elements are not detected by physical proximity to the beam. Instead, they are detected exclusively by their hosting relationship to the beam whose calculation is being launched. {% hint style="info" %} **NOTE**: It is **NOT** mandatory to enable the use of analytical model on a given beam element in order to launch a steel beam calculation. Steel beam calculations can be launched, edited, and saved without checking the “Enable…” control on the Properties pane. {% endhint %} ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-5271520409d43a7c1334c88ecf7cdf8906f7568f%2Fclip0185.png?alt=media) However, if the analytical model remains disabled on a given beam, the user will not be able to place hosted loads on the beam. This is because hosted loads are hosted to the underlying analytical element rather than to the physical element. Similarly, if the analytical model is disabled on a particular beam AFTER hosted loads have been created, then the hosted loads belonging to that analytical element will be automatically removed from the Revit model. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-a69da179a73348e9498336f21d496244d0dfc6fa%2Fclip0186.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-90b585784a9f3a9bba3890ddd129c8c30a3c2bcf%2Fclip0187.png?alt=media) As indicated previously, hosted load elements detected during a beam calculation launch are mapped to the “Loads All Spans” tab in the ENERCALC SEL interface. Since Revit hosted load elements automatically assume the full extents of the analytical element, all hosted loads detected during calculation launch automatically extend from the start of the beam to the end of the beam when populated in the ENERCALC SEL calculation. At this time, no provision is made for scenarios where the extents of the analytical beam differ from the extents of the physical beam. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-837c185b8ea0574f9c35cfd4da755d820bc8fd82%2Fclip0188.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e3749e107d380b3b41ec9130da577f20f9868115%2Fclip0189.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8695fdff2fdb4d4e9faef6a648b5bbcdbde755c4%2Fclip0190.png?alt=media) When multiple hosted load elements overlap with identical geometry but differing load cases, they are automatically consolidated to a single load item in the ENERCALC SEL interface. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4c713f12d46db6e1e82b1c0893d1677a918583e6%2Fclip0191.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-716bd0e6fe6617210ed60ac5b003ce7ce9cd71b6%2Fclip0192.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ebab7a0fc881646bbbda8ea70047b8f8cdc1f045%2Fclip0193.png?alt=media) When multiple hosted load elements overlap with identical geometry and repetitive load cases, they are not consolidated but instead will appear as individual load items in the ENERCALC SEL interface. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e86858f7eef97069d2878116f522f99092e8b269%2Fclip0194.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-23c18b15eb594b8104a32790205579df7465e1bc%2Fclip0195.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-7f17798bea56c1a1f3a0e43bc7896e224c5f9c92%2Fclip0196.png?alt=media) When multiple hosted load elements overlap with identical geometry and multiple repetitive load cases, the loads are consolidated into the lowest possible number of load items in the ENERCALC SEL interface. ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-896787147d19780fc39177346f9b859906aeaccc%2Fclip0197.png?alt=media) 5![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f49a402f1af79cc1a48418872fd2ffd755404137%2Fclip0198.png?alt=media) ![](https://4249100372-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FgHVzpA9PT0VcuNGp6j39%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2dcc5a2f912abb5af4d25d443941a4e9b990817c%2Fclip0199.png?alt=media) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.enercalc.com/efr-user-manual/calculation-types/working-with-beam-calculations/beam-loads-16/launching-with-revit-hosted-lo.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
